Volume 5, The Three Realms of the Stars and the Moon_Chapter 62, The Holy Land High Temple
It should be mentioned here that not both the Abe family and the Ashiya family are in Tokyo. During the Heian period, the headquarters of the two Onmyoji families were in Kyoto, but with the changing times, Tokyo is now the capital of Japan, the political and economic center. Even the emperor of Japan lives in Tokyo, so the Yin Yang Liao will definitely have to move with him. The Ashiya family's reaction to this was much faster than that of the Abe family, and the Ashiya family was the first group of Onmyoji families to relocate to Tokyo, Japan, and was even praised by the top management at that time. In the fifth year after the Ashiya family moved over, the Abe family arrived belatedly, but instead of moving the headquarters to Tokyo, they sent a large number of people to open a branch in Tokyo. It was only in modern times that the Abe family moved their headquarters to Tokyo, and at that time, there were almost no old Heian period houses in Tokyo.
Seeing that the headquarters of the Ashiya family was a high-grade old building, how could the Abe family be compared, so he sent someone to imitate a huge mansion of the Heian period. In the years that the Abe family has not been in business, the Ashiya family has secretly bought a lot of land in Tokyo, some of which even includes the mountains around Tokyo. One of them is where the Ashiya family used to house the treasure house.
The Abe family kept the treasure house under their noses, and the Ashiya family placed the treasure house on the ground that had been enclosed over the years.
As the car drove into the mountains, perhaps because of winter, the mountains around Tokyo were covered in snow, and the windows were full of snow-covered trees and rocks.
The car slowly stopped, and saw a car in front of us after opening the door, and we also got off the car, and when we looked up, we saw that there was an old temple with a sense of age in front of us, a wooden mountain gate, and several monks were sweeping the floor on both sides of the mountain gate. I lit a cigarette and asked curiously, "Where is this?" ”
The former Riyuro came up and said, "I guess it's a holy place established by the Ashiya family in Tokyo. ”
"Holy Land?" It's the first time I've heard of this kind of rumor, and I asked strangely as I squinted at the former Li Yulang.
"It is rumored that after Japan moved its capital to Tokyo, the Ashiya family held a meeting, and for so many years in Kyoto, the Ashiya family has been at a disadvantage because of the defeat of Ashiya Michiman that year, and has been suppressed by the Abe family. But moving the capital to Tokyo at that time was a very good opportunity for them to turn around, and the inside line they arranged in Abe's house at that time also reacted back, saying that the Abe family was not ready to move to Tokyo immediately. If the Ashiya family can gain a foothold in Tokyo, they may be able to dominate the Tokyo family in the future. Of course, most of the top brass agreed with this, but it was soon suggested that if the family's sacred place, the ancestral temple dedicated to the ancestors of the Abe family, could be moved to Tokyo, it would be a real demonstration of the courage to gain a foothold in Tokyo. As soon as this proposal came out, everyone was taken aback. At that time, many people disagreed, and it was a taboo to tamper with the ancestral hall and high temple. For this reason, there was a fierce conflict between the high-level of the Ashiya family. But in the end, the final decision was made because the head of the Ashiya family was on the side of the relocation at that time. Today, the sacred place of the Ashiya family has been located here for more than 100 years, and this place is protected by the ancestors of the Ashiya family, and has been blessed with the light of the ancestors of the Ashiya family. So, it's very safe for them to have the treasure trove here. There is no place more impregnable than the sacred place of the Ashiya family. "Jun Yan still knows a lot about the affairs of the Ashiya family, and he explained to me about this matter in the Holy Land.
I turned my head to look inside the mountain gate, and under my contemplation, I could indeed see the soul power surrounding the entire high temple, and there was a deep and awe-inspiring power guarding this place in the dark.
Since it is a holy place for others, then I naturally don't dare to make a mistake. Standing at the door and waiting for the army to negotiate with them, smoking a cigarette to see that this place is really a treasure of feng shui. The whole temple is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is a small river that flows slowly from the left side of the high temple, and then goes around the top and right sides of the high temple, which feels like there is a water dragon surrounding this place, and the high temple is like a dragon ball under the claws of this water dragon. Dragon Ball is the essence of the water dragon, condensing a lot of vitality, and this place is where the essence is located.
"What a place." Although I don't know much about Feng Shui, I can still see one or two, and I can't help but sigh at this time.
At this moment, the army beckoned to us, and the former Li Yulang and I hurried over, accompanied by two monks, towards the high temple. At this time, I asked a little strangely, "How can there be monks in this holy place of Onmyoji?" ”
"You don't know this, this is originally a temple, and it existed before the Ashiya family moved in. After the Ashiya family bought this area, they did not demolish the temple, but discussed with the monks here and transferred the high temple. The monks continued to live here, and the temple doors were opened. Jun Yan explained with a smile.
When I stepped through the mountain gate and looked inside, I saw a silver three-story pagoda located in the center of the high temple at first sight! Because the high temple is not a big place, after walking in, this three-story silver pagoda is very conspicuous. The silver pagoda, covered in a thick layer of snow, looks like a pure white statue, with one floor about four meters tall and three floors about 12 meters high. The diameter of the first floor is about seven or eight meters. On the edge of each layer of the pagoda are carved auspicious beasts, and on the stone walls around the pagoda are carved on each side of the different gods and demons!
Although the pagoda is not as big as I expected, it doesn't seem to be as heavy as the Abe family's underground treasure house. But after a few more glances, you will understand that this pagoda in front of you is not simple!
In addition to the soul power protection blessings I saw, the gods and demons engraved on each side of this pagoda have also released strong mana, once these mana are urged, this pagoda of the Ashiya family is like being protected by countless gods and demons, not to mention that it is difficult for mortals to approach, even if the first-class master wants to fight this treasure house, it must be weighed clearly.
"Compared to the underground treasure house of the Abe family, the pagoda of the Ashiya family gives me a more powerful feeling." I said bluntly.
"Let's go!" Jun Yan patted me on the shoulder, we walked to the entrance of the pagoda, several monks were casting spells to open the barrier that protected the pagoda around, when the spell was completed, the entrance stone door of the pagoda made a muffled sound of "bang", and then slowly opened it inside.
"They said there's no time limit, and of course you can't stay in there all day. When you come out, you can only take one thing, and the ancestors of the Ashiya family will be watching you in secret, and if you make any moves beyond the thunder pool, they will not let you go. After the former Li Yulang relayed the words of the monk who opened the door, everyone stood on both sides, and I looked at the stone gate and said secretly in my heart: I got a close jade pendant of Abe Qingming in Abe's house, and I don't know what I can get in this pagoda? If you can get the magic weapon of Ashiya Michiman back then, it will be considered a profit.
"Okay, thank you." I smiled and thanked him, and then walked into the pagoda, and the moment I stepped through the stone gate, I really had the feeling of entering some kind of enchantment, and there was a feeling on my back that I was being watched by some secret gaze. It seems that the monk's words are not to scare people, and there are really something I can't see here watching me.
Jun Yan told me before that there are rules for the treasure house of the Ashiya family, the stronger the strength, the deeper the path will go up, and the highest third layer is the place where the really good things are placed.
I glanced at the first floor, and it was true that there were all treasures, but there were really few things that could enter my eyes, and even if there were a few decent ones, they were not what I needed. Although I got a cheap deal at Abe's house, what I really wanted was a weapon that was better than a broken sword, and since the Abe family couldn't get it, I should get one at Ashiya's house.
Since there was no first floor, I walked towards the second floor, raised my feet to the staircase on the second floor, and looked a little dumbfounded. At the top of the staircase stood a sculpture that was so tall that it looked like a samurai in armor and holding a long knife in his hand. The staircase was blocked from where it was standing, and I thought I would have to push the sculpture out of the way.
"Why did you put a sculpture here?" I felt strange and took a few steps forward, when the sculpture at the top of the staircase suddenly moved!
